MASTER OF ARTS (1971) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) - Hamilton~ Ontario ~ and Typological Symbolism AUTHOR, Willem Helder~ BoAe (McMaster University) SUPERVISORt" Dro AQ Ao Lee NUMBER OF PAGESg v~ 100 ii PREFACE In view of the prevalence of Christianity in England throughout what we can consider the age of the f3e.o~ poet, an exploration of the influence o·f typological symbolism would seem to be especially useful in the study of ~f. In the Old English period any Christian influence on a poem would perforce be of a patristic and typological nature. I propose to give evidence that this statement applies also to 13Eio'!llJ..J,=:(, and to bring this information to bear particularly on the inter­ pretation of the two dominant symbols r Reorot and the dragon's hoardo To date, no attempt has been made to look at the poem as a whole in a purely typological perspectivec. According to the typological exegesis of Scripture, the realities of the Old Testament prefigure those of the new dis~ pensation. The Hebrew prophets and also the New Testament apostles consciously made reference to "types" or II figures II , but it was left for the Fathers of the Church to develop typology as a science. They did so to prove to such h.eretics as the lYIani~ chean8 that both Testaments form a unity, and to convince the J"ews that the Old was fulfilled in the New.

    Towards the Kalmar Union

    S P E C I A L I Z E D A G E N C I E S TOWARDS THE KALMAR UNION Dear Delegates, Welcome to the 31st Annual North American Model United Nations 2016 at the University of Toronto! On behalf of all of the staff at NAMUN, we welcome you to the Specialized Agency branch of the conference. I, and the rest of the committee staff are thrilled to have you be a delegate in Scandinavia during the High Middle Ages, taking on this challenging yet fascinating topic on the futures of the three Scandinavian Kingdoms in a time of despair, poverty, dependence and competitiveness. This will truly be a new committee experience, as you must really delve into the history of these Kingdoms and figure out how to cooperate with each other without sending everyone into their demise. To begin, in the Towards the Kalmar Union Specialized Agency, delegates will represent influential characters from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which include prominent knights, monarchs, nobles, and important religious figures who dominate the political, military and economic scenes of their respective Kingdoms. The impending issues that will be discussed at the meeting in Kalmar, Sweden include the future of the Danish and Norwegian crowns after the death of the sole heir to the thrones, Olaf II. Here, two distant relatives to Valdemar IV have a claim to the throne and delegates will need to decide who will succeed to the throne. The second order of business is to discuss the growing German presence in Sweden, especially in major economic cities.
  • The Old-Norse Narrative Auðunar Þáttr Vestfirzkaas

    The Old-Norse Narrative Auðunar Þáttr Vestfirzkaas

    Studia Litteraria Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis 5 (2010) MARTA REY-RADLIŃSKA Instytut Filologii Germańskiej Zakład Filologii Szwedzkiej Uniwersytet Jagielloński THE OLD-NORSE NARRATIVE AUÐUNAR ÞÁTTR VESTFIRZKA AS A PARABOLIC FICTION Introduction Auðunar þáttr vestfi rzka (literally: The þáttr of Auðun from the West Fjords) is doubtless one of the prose masterpieces of the European Middle Ages. The story of a poor Icelander who travels to the old country to gain wealth and recognition is well known and has been translated to many languages. It has been considered as one of most classical examples of the Old-Norse short narratives, so-called þættir. The number of short narratives called today þættir varies depending on the criteria applied. As Elizabeth Ashman Rowe and Joseph Harris concluded in A Companion to Old-Norse Icelandic Literature and Culture: Because such short narratives are not always clearly labelled, whether with ‘þáttr’ or another term, and because other criteria for their recognition can be subjective, their exact number will always be a matter of controversy. We feel, however, that a conservative esti- mate would recognize between 75 and 100 short narratives as þættir.1 The research on this kind of narratives has a long history but is not yet exhaus- tive.2 The modern lexical defi nition of a þáttr points out the two modern meanings of the term: Þáttr m., (eig. “Taustrang, Kardeel”, Pl. Þættir) ist ein literar. Begriff mit zwei versch. Bedeutungen: 1. ein Abschnitt einer längeren Saga (z.B. den Kristni þáttr der Laxdæla 1 E.A. Rowe, J. Harris, “Short Prose Narrative (þáttr)”.

    Affective Criticism, Oral Poetics, and Beowulf's Fight with the Dragon

    Oral Tradition, 10/1 (1995): 54-90 Affective Criticism, Oral Poetics, and Beowulf’s Fight with the Dragon Mark C. Amodio I Affective criticism, as it has been practiced over the last few years, has come to focus upon the reader’s (or audience’s) subjective experience of a given literary work.1 Rather than examining the text qua object, affective criticism (like all subjective criticism) has abandoned the objectivism and textual reification which lay at the heart of the New Critical enterprise, striving instead to lead “one away from the ‘thing itself’ in all its solidity to the inchoate impressions of a variable and various reader” (Fish 1980:42).2 Shifting the critical focus away from the text to the reader has engendered 1 Iser, one of the leading proponents of reader-based inquiry, offers the following succinct statement of the logic underlying his and related approaches: “[a]s a literary text can only produce a response when it is read, it is virtually impossible to describe this response without also analyzing the reading process” (1978:ix). Iser’s emphasis on the reader’s role and on the constitutive and enabling functions inherent in the act of reading are shared by many other modern theorists despite their radical differences in methodologies, aims, and conclusions. See especially Culler (1982:17-83), and the collections edited by Tompkins (1980) and Suleiman and Crosman (1980). 2 The New Criticism has generally warned against inscribing an idiosyncratic, historically and culturally determined reader into a literary text because doing so would lead to subjectivism and ultimately to interpretative chaos.

Rather than emphasizing ambiguity through the hybrid body, the modern werewolf has come to represent excess or lack in terms of gender and sexuality. The werewolf can now no longer be considered "queer": that is, as an unusual, unfamiliar, and ambiguous creature that does not conform to the laws of beasts or men. Queer sexual and gender identity, which once found an analog in the werewolf "curse," would seem to be denied by this current "Werewolf Pride" movement; the movement promotes heteronormative standards in its favored representations of an essentially queer figure. Hybrid identity, through physical transformation from man to wolf to man-wolf, becomes interchangeable with queer sexual identity in the medieval werewolf bodies in The Romance of William of Palerne and Marie de France's "Bisclavret." Despite persistent attempts, the werewolf s trans-species body cannot be successfully heteronormalized without sacrificing its essential hybridity which blends man and animal.

    1. the Fugitive

    1. The fugitive HARALD SIGURDSSON was a half-brother of King Olaf the Saint; they had the same mother' Harald took part in the Battle of Stiklestad where King Olaf was killed.' Harald was wounded in that battle, but managed to escape, along with many other fugitives. In the words of the poet Thjodolf Arnorsson: 3 I heard that the storm of arrows Raged around King Olaf, And the king's young brother Fought beside him bravely. I. Harald was the son of Sigurd Sow. Sigurd Sow (Halfdanarson) was one of the petty kings in tenth­ century No(way; he ruled over Ringerike. Harald Sigurdssoo's mother was Queen Asu Gudbrand's-daughter; her first hosband. before Sigurd Sow. was King Harald of Westfold, and their son was Olaf Haraldsson (St Olaf). 2. King Olaf Haraldsson (St Olaf)) was King of Norway from 1016 to 1030, when he was killed at the Battle of Stiklestad. near Trond­ heim. Norway was still semi-pagan when Olaf Haraldsson came to the throne, and during his reign he fought ruthlessly against heathen practices. Eventually. the chieftains and farmers rebelled against him; King Olaf was driven from Norway, but later returned with a ragtag army. At Stiklestad he fought his last battle against over­ whelming odds during an eclipse of the sun (31 August 1030). and died a martyr to the Christian faith. Miracles were reported within a few hours of his death. and he quickly came to be regarded as a saint; his cult spread through Scandinavia and western Europe. and also to Iceland and the British Isles.
  • The 'Long Reformation' in Nordic Historical Research

    The 'Long Reformation' in Nordic Historical Research

    1 The ‘long reformation’ in Nordic historical research Report to be discussed at the 28th Congress of Nordic Historians, Joensuu 14-17 August 2014 2 Preface This report is written by members of a working group called Nordic Reformation History Working Group, that was established as a result of a round table session on the reformation at the Congress of Nordic Historians in Tromsø in Norway in August 2011. The purpose of the report is to form the basis of discussions at a session on “The ‘long reformation’ in Nordic historical research” at the Congress of Nordic Historians in Joensuu in Finland in August 2014.
